I have a 36 bow setup, with a canister filter and HOB refugium.
I got a bug up my behind over the weekend and now want to convert to a sump. I drew up plans for a DIY sump based on a 10 gallon tank and was all ready to go. I bought the 10 gallon tank yesterday, and now find out I can't get it into the stand. Grrrrr....
The stand is the AGA "classic pine" stand (http://www.aqueonproducts.com/products/classic-pine-bow-front-stands169448.htm).
So, the question: what do owners of this type of tank do for a sump? Can a 10 gallon DIY sump be dropped in thru the top of the stand? Do I need to consider making a custom-sized acrylic sump? Do I need to look at a different piece of furniture to set the tank on?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike
